MY FIRST TIME RECEIVING A DONATION

Received my first donation for Launcher Dock. Thank you kind donor.

I’m grateful for the $1 donation for supporting the Launcher Dock application – $1 doesn’t seem like a lot but it was the thought that counts. To be honest, I never would have thought in a million years someone would be donating anything for this Windows Application. Now after 3 years some kind donor gave me $1. Yes $1!

When I came up with the idea to build this Windows Application, I only had budget of approximately $100. I wanted to build something useful for myself and for the Digital Signage community but more importantly I wanted to give this out for FREE. I only added the donation option as an experiment to see if someone would actually donate and after several years the answer is YES – there are kind people out those who are willing to donate if they find something useful.

By the way, there hasn’t been any software updates since Launcher Dock was released and I won’t be planning to do any because Windows development/coding isn’t my forte. As a matter of fact, I’m not a developer and to up skill in this area would be too time consuming – I would rather spend my time on more important tasks.

Once again, a big thanks to donor F. for the $1 donation.
